Yikes! Tristan thought it was playtime

[Insanemomof3]

At midnight! He was up until 3 am! With this preggo mommy, he should not do that! Any ideas to get him to not want to play at odd hours?

LOL. We know the feeling I think Ashley has a bit of my night owlness (lol I think I made a new word) in her.

I feel your pain! I just got Ashley to bed. Actually, I thought she was going to get back on schedule because she went to bed at 8:30 PM. BUT, she was back up at 10:30 PM --wide-eyed and hyper. She played until midnight and then finally went back to bed. She thinks her bedtime is midnight, I guess.

The only way I think I am going to get her to go to sleep at a decent hour again is to wake her up earlier (She sleeps until 10:30 am) But, I am not sure I want to do that because then she doesn't sleep as well and is up several times at night. Like TLCDad said, she is a nightowl!

Are you able to sleep in longer in the morning? I am not sure if that is the solution that you are loooking for, but I am to the point that I am tired of fighting with Ashley on sleep and I am going to let her sleep when she does it best... from midnight until 10:30. I am just adjusting my schedule a bit... although I have to be "in the office" around 8am. The office is just down the hall from my bedroom...lol.

I am sorry I wasn't of more help. Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

Nope, no sleeping in for me. Tristan, no matter what time he goes to bed for the night, is up at about 7-8 am. It does not matter what time he is in bed, sometimes 7 pm sometimes 3 AM! But no matter what he's always up at the same time every morning!

Robbie ( now 7 ) went through a big sprut when he was a baby where he was up at odd hours thinking it was play time. Does you baby cry for you? Robbie wouldn't, so I would just leave him alone to play in his crip, he either got bored or noticed that I wasn't running in for him, he went back to sleep on his own.
